Sparkling Water and Your Teeth

Posted on Jan 18, 2018 2:10pm PST

Any dentist near Belmont will tell you that sugary sports drinks can wreak
havoc on your tooth enamel, but where does sparkling water land
when it comes to dental health? Any carbonated beverage will have some effect on your teeth, but they
don’t all do the same amount of damage. Check out this video to
find out how sparkling water can affect your teeth.

Sugary soft drinks might go well with a cheeseburger and fries, but they
don’t go well with your teeth. Energy drinks, sports drinks, and
even fruit juices are also common culprits behind tooth decay. Sparkling
water is slightly acidic due to its carbonic acid, but this won’t
in itself damage your enamel. Carbonated water doesn’t contain the
same damaging sugars as sodas and sports drinks, so it’s not as
harmful to your teeth. Drink this water with your meals, and consider
rinsing with regular water when you’re finished.
